When he had been appointed to ccm-
mand the Army OF Italy, Admiral
Decres. who had known him we'll at
Paris, hearing that he WAS to pass
through Toulon. offered to present all
his comrades. The Admiral says: ''l

Augereau, kind of heroical, rough old
soldier, proud of his tall form and Of his
bravery, came to headquarters very
badly disposed toward the little upstart
whom they had sent to them from Paris.
From the description given Of him,
Augereau is insulting and insubcrdi-

his customary oaths. He agrees with
Massena, that that little b of
soldier frightened him" He is not able
to understand 1.-The ascendancy with
which he felt himself crushed at the
first glance" Another specimen of this
ascendancy on annther old soldier OF the
Revolution, still rougher and more en-
ergetic than Augereau, is given in tile
experience of General Vandamme. In
1915 Vandamme said to Marshal Soult
one day as they were ascending together
the steps Of the Tuileries: ''My dear
friend, that devil. of a man (Seferring to
the Emper0r) exercises a fascination
over me that am unable to account for
1t influences me to that degree that I,
who fear neither God nor devil, am
ready to tremble like child when he
approaches. He could make me pass
through the eye of a needle; to cast my
self in the fire for him." And Napoleon
himself said On certain OCCASION:

A SPOKANE Falls Physician Joins the
Majority, Taking the Aconite Line.
SPOKANE FALLS, September 20.-(Special
to The Miner. This afternoon DR.. David
son Scott committed suicide at his room in
the Arlington Hotel BY the poison route,
he having taken an ounce of tincture OF
aconite. DR.. Scott formerly resided here,
and practiced his profession for upwards
Of two years. He was . successful physi-
clan and surgeon and made considerable
money. Over q year ago, on account OF
the failure OF his wife's health, he left the
Falls for the East to get treatment for his
wife. She died last winter. He arrived
in the Falls about a month ago on visit,
and expected to return to the East. His
health was broken and he ruined finan-
cially; at least the latter is suspected, al.
though the deceased was so proud that he
would not acknowledge being hard up when
pressed on the subject by friends ready
and anxious to lend him assistance. Some
two weeks ago he took to his bed. the only
trouble seeming to be a lack of vitality.
About that time. imagining that he could
not recover, he made an unsuccessful at
tempt to take his own life by the admins
tration Of q large dose OF morphine. He
was discovered in time and his life saved,
only to die by his own hands to-day. He
has NO relatives in this country. His only
sister, so far a. known, islivingiu Iowa. An
inquest will be held ON the remains to.

What Induces Some.

A Chicago specia says: The organ OF the
conservative Knights of Labor in this city.
reviewing the Anarchist cases, and com.
menting on the "mawk kish sentinentality,"
which il inducing some citisens to talk
about clemercy for the condemned men,
says: THE hope of executive clemency will
be nullified by the insane mutterings and
threats OF the representatives of Anarchy.
We hope aud believe there is too much
space between the eyes OF the Governor OF
Illinois to allow him to be influenced by
the babbling OF the Anarchists of New
York, thicago. St.. Louis or any other
city. 1t is a fact that is we'll known and
has been pretty exhaustingly discussed
by the friends of the prisoners, that such
men as Lum, Curtin and other fre-raters
are extremely anxious that the men in Jail
should hang. They would have been much
surprised ard chagrined If q new trial had
been granted. It. would have exhausted
their capital and opportunities to make
mouth organs Of Themselves. They want
Spies and his companions to become mar.
tyrs that they may become preachers of q
new crusade. And as they did everything
in their power to counteract the feeling OF
compassion with which the public had be-
gan to regard the men, so now they will do
everything to interfere between the governor
of Illinois ard the lives of the condemned.
The action of few friends of the Anarch-
lists has in large degree alienated the good
will with which they we're at one time re-
garded. Notwithstanding the known anti
pathy of all good citizens TO anything
tainted with the name of Anarchy, tho
"howlers" have kept on bowling, although
every time they opened their mouths they
knew they were driving q nail into the
coffin of those for whom they claim to
have so much sympathy and affection.
Their ego ism and CT Id .blooded malice have
done as much to hang their friends as the
Jury that convicted then."
